Managers and team leaders are facing unprecedented pressure to interpret data faster, deliver insights more clearly, and support decisions in a volatile business environment. AI is transforming how professionals gather requirements, synthesize information, automate dashboards, and model scenarios — dramatically increasing strategic impact.

This 5-week course teaches professionals looking to upskill their analytics capabilities how to use generative AI, analytical agents, and no-code automation tools to accelerate insight generation and deepen analytical rigor. Learners apply AI directly to core workflows — from requirements gathering to data interpretation, stakeholder reporting, and building decision‑ready summaries.

By the end, learners will have reusable templates, AI-assisted modeling techniques, and a modern toolkit for delivering high‑quality analysis at speed.

You bring at least 10 years of data and analytics experience, at least 2+ years of experience in using AI for business analysis, and a genuine passion for helping professionals thrive and achieve success. You have a point of view on how established and emerging AI tools can help extract actionable insights from business data, and you’re able to break concepts down and make them accessible to beginners.
